"The purpose of a writer is to be read. . ."
Samuel Johnson, 1709-1784, author
of the first major English dictionary.

The first step in fulfilling our purpose
as a writer is to be a dedicated editor.
We need to arrange words that form
a clear picture for the reader's eyes.
At the same time, we must not let
perfection prevent completion.
We as readers do not have the time
to read every word that's been written.
Not every reader will have time
to read our words, nor want to.
If we write as a creative filled with the
desire to write, it will last a lifetime.
If we write for a source of income
it may not last forever.

talking to ourselves,"

As writers, we talk to ourselves first and commit our conversation to words.
From talking to committing our time to completion is a long winding road.
I have been talking to myself for a long time.
When I was younger, I could talk silently,
now that I am 74, I often talk outloud.
Whenever that happens, Rosalinda will ask,
"What are you mumbling about now?"
"Nothing in particular, I am in the first
stage of writing."
